Gap % = (live indicative price − perp price at the last official close) ÷ perp price at the last official close × 100.
Worked example (16:00 UTC on Oct 27, 2026): (99.91 − 101.21) ÷ 101.21 × 100 = -1.29%. The perpetual is $1.30 below its price at the last official close.
NYMEX energy futures observe the same broad weekly maintenance map as metals: Friday 5:00 p.m. ET halt, Sunday 6:00 p.m. ET restart, with a daily hour-long pause at 5:00 p.m. ET on weekdays. Physical crude markets do not stop shipping on Saturday, but the regulated futures screen that anchors risk goes quiet.
OPEC headlines, Middle East developments, and inventory surprises over the weekend often show up first in Asian electronic trading and in 24/7 crypto-native perps. WTI and Brent perpetuals can diverge from each other if one leg is thinner—this page shows both where available.
Energy weekend gaps can gap violently on geopolitical shocks. Use the historical table to see how often the Sunday reopen direction matched the weekend drift for WTI.

The gap percentage compares the current indicative perpetual to the reference close at the last official session end in Eastern time. A positive gap means perps trade above that reference; negative means below. It does not tell you Monday's official open—especially for equities, cash open can differ from Sunday futures reopen. Use the sparkline for path since close, and the history table for frequency of follow-through.
Read concurrent moves across asset classes on the home board. Metals traders often cross-check silver; equity readers compare Nasdaq and S&P 500.
Every countdown and close reference on this page is computed with America/New_York, including daylight saving transitions. We do not approximate UTC offsets manually. That means the Friday close anchor moves between 21:00 and 22:00 UTC depending on the season, while the labeled local time stays 4:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. as appropriate for the asset class.
During the official pause, liquidity on decentralized venues can thin. You may see the gap expand quickly on headlines, then compress as Sunday reopen approaches and hedgers return. The weekend high and low fields summarize hourly candle extremes since the close reference—they are descriptive, not official exchange ranges.
The twelve-week table is a small sample. Same-direction hit rate tells you how often the reopen gap signed the same way as the pre-reopen weekend move; it is not a win rate for any strategy. Median absolute difference between weekend move and reopen gap helps you see whether Sunday open tends to mean-revert or extend. Combine with the full gap archive when you need more than a dozen rows.
If you are comparing FX against metals, remember FX reopens Sunday at 5:00 p.m. ET while COMEX-style products typically return at 6:00 p.m. ET. A synchronized global shock may show up in dollar pairs before it appears in gold's Sunday screen.
Futures screens are dark, so use a 24/7 perpetual quote: As of 16:00 UTC on Oct 27, 2026, WTI crude oil is indicated at $99.91, -1.29% vs the perp price of $101.21 at the last official close (Mon, Oct 26, 5:00 p.m. ET); Brent is at $109.31. NYMEX crude futures reopen Open now.
Hyperliquid HIP-3 xyz perpetual markets (xyz:CL for WTI, xyz:BRENTOIL for Brent) via the public info API, refreshed by a server snapshot every 5 minutes.
WTI (CL) is primary; Brent is shown as a secondary indicative quote on the same page.
No. It is a perpetual price at the official close time, labeled indicative.
Regional fundamentals, liquidity, and contract-specific positioning can split Brent and WTI perps.
Sunday 6:00 p.m. ET on the schedule we model.
Yes—API and EIA calendars hit during the week, but geopolitical news anytime can reprice crude.
Exchange holidays are not modeled in v1.
Many desk traders start with a simple checklist: note Friday's official close, mark where the perpetual traded at that instant, then watch whether the live quote drifts with news or with correlated markets. If dollar FX perps strengthen while gold perps soften, that divergence may reflect relative liquidity rather than a clean macro signal—cross-check both legs on the forex weekend page.
Before Sunday reopen, compare the gap to the median absolute difference in the history table. Large gaps that are unusual versus the last quarter of weekends deserve extra skepticism: thin books exaggerate moves. After reopen, official venues re-establish their own prints; this site does not stream those feeds in v1.
Nothing here is a recommendation to trade. The venue link points to an external comparison page; trading hours follow each venue's own rules. Always read each venue's own terms and risk statements independently of this tracker.
